The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something unusual on the loading dock—a small package wrapped in brown paper with no return address or label. Curious, he picked it up and found an old-fashioned key inside. He tried every lock in the building but couldn’t open it. Finally, a regular customer saw him struggling and offered his own keys. Turns out, the mysterious package unlocked a forgotten storage room filled with vintage coffee mugs. The delivery driver got free mugs for life—and everyone had a good laugh.

2. A customer once asked the staff at The UPS Store: ‘Do you ever get packages that look like they’ve been delivered by mistake?’ One employee replied with a smile, ‘Oh yes, it happens quite often.’ Then another chimed in, ‘Yesterday we had a package addressed to “The North Pole”!’ A regular overheard and laughed, saying, ‘I bet that delivery driver was confused for a minute there.’

3. One day, while helping an elderly lady print photos, the printer suddenly started humming like a contented cat. Everyone in the store turned to look, but it stopped as soon as she left. Later that week, when a delivery driver came to pick up some documents, he mentioned hearing the same soothing purr whenever he entered the store. The manager smiled and said, 'Must be our secret store mascot!' And ever since then, everyone jokes that ‘The UPS Store’ has its very own feline friend who only shows up for special customers.'

4. Early one foggy morning, as customers were just arriving, the lights in The UPS Store flickered and then dimmed to a soft glow, casting everything in eerie blue light. Suddenly, an old man wearing reading glasses appeared from behind the counter, smiling warmly. 'Just our server doing its nightly dance,' he said cheerfully. Customers laughed, relieved, and soon everyone was absorbed in their usual tasks—except for one guy who kept glancing at his phone, muttering, ‘Why does it always happen when I’m late?’
